GADGETS Magazine is not just about smartphones and mobile devices, computers and laptops, entertainment centers, gaming consoles, home appliances, and other electronic stuff. A gadget is anything and everything—in the home, kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom, garage, in the office, at school, for travel, or just about anywhere. It’s what you wear, what you carry in your bag, and what you aspire to have.
